Supplier-origin mouse microbiomes significantly influence locomotor and anxiety-related behavior, body morphology, and metabolism

Ericsson et al. show that different vendors (suppliers of mouse strains) harbor distinct microbiomes, which drive distinct behavioral phenotypes when the genetics are fixed. They specifically focus on changes relating to exploratory and anxiety-related behavior, physiological phenotypic parameters,...
